Raising awareness of identifying PAD is important to help ensure patients get the screenings and treatments they need. We’d like to help make it easy for you to spread the word about PAD in your community by providing you with complimentary tools to help identify symptoms of peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Resources for you
You can download patient education collateral to use in your clinic or on your website, including a brochure and poster in both English and Spanish. You’ll also find a short video that explains PAD and includes a PAD assessment patients can complete and share their results with their provider. Additional materials are available to support education of patients in your community.
Send a request online or ask your Medtronic representative to receive printed materials.
